#Bluesky has launched #Attie, an #AIpowered app that allows users to create custom feeds by typing commands in natural language. Built on the AT Protocol, Attie leverages #Anthropic’s #Claude and is designed to be user-friendly, enabling people to curate #personalisedfeeds without coding knowledge. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/28/bluesky-leans-into-ai-with-attie-an-app-for-building-custom-feeds/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I posted about the Claude Code leak on LinkedIn and almost immediately someone attacked me about my criticism. They tried the "take a look at COBOL and get back to me" angle.

Buddy. I've written COBOL. I spent several years working almost daily with a 3-million-line monstrosity of a COBOL program. I was working on another app that interfaced with it, but in that work I occasionally had to read the code and in a few cases modify it. Granted I haven't spent as much time looking at the leaked Claude Code source code (and won't lol), but nevertheless I confidently declare that Claude Code is worse. "Spaghetti code" doesn't come close to describing this thing.

Anthropic apologists still coming out of the woodwork to run cover for them or complain, 24 hours after I posted that the Claude Code source code is horribly ill-structured.

You don't have to pretend that Claude Code's source code is lovely just because you like using it or are impressed by whatever madness is going on around AI right now.

OpenAI Misses Key Revenue, User Targets in High-Stakes Sprint Toward IPO

The company’s CFO and board have questioned the wisdom of massive data-center spending in the face of slowing growth

From https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-misses-key-revenue-user-targets-in-high-stakes-sprint-toward-ipo-94a95273

Several interesting details in this article, including that both Google and Anthropic are eating a bit of OpenAI's lunch. DeepSeek's latest model would be poised to eat all their lunches if it weren't for the US government running cover for US firms. This does not feel like a stable situation to me.

Another in a growing list of evidence that the financial underpinnings of the AI mania are coming unglued.

One speaks of "exposure" to a concerning risk, not to a bonanza of wealth creation. Some of the quotes in this article seem to be cherrypicked to minimize alarm, which I disagree with: there is cause for alarm. Looking between the lines (e.g. use of words like "exposure" and "choking"), one sees a dismal picture emerge.

I realized that if I was writing a program and it didn't always work, I had a choice: I could either fix it, or call it AI.

#ChatGPT was the first popular LLM, however, they won't be the most used LLM in a few years time.

#Gemini has already raced ahead, turbocharged by Google's massive data collection. #Claude is also doing well - with multiple useful app-integrations.

The only question is will ChatGPT be relevant by then? 🤔

ICYMI: some dork used #Claude #LLM to 'fix' an issue in #rsync and broke it (v3.4.3).

#GenAI is shit and shld not be used for code that needs to work, even if you have the morals of a billionaire skunk.

Lots of critical tasks, such as backup 🤦‍♂️ will be broken as people update their #Debian #Linux thanks to this stupid obsession and psychosis.

How much will that cost? On top of all the costs inflicted on people who never touch the stuff and don't want to run anything built with it, like me.

This is a bit niche, but today I noticed the "Local REST API" plugin for Obsidian is now the "Local REST API with MCP" plugin. MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is an LLM coding agent thing. "Local REST API" previously served a REST endpoint that let other apps, notably browser plugins, interact with your Obsidian vault. It's useful: for instance, there's a browser plugin that allows you to download a copy of any web page and stash it in your vault using the REST API this plugin serves.

I created an issue on the plugin's GitHub about removing the MCP functionality into a separate plugin, and the maintainer immediately converted it into a discussion, which is here: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api/discussions/272

I'm getting the impression from all the LLM-related discussions and commits that this is a lost cause and I'll probably have to fork this plugin if I want an MCP-free version of it. Looks like they took up slop coding earlier this year too, which is another area of concern.

The moment they can sign a juicy contract that involve tracking/deporting/killing/denying insurance claim/benefits & profiling people, they will. This is about the continuation of concentration of power in the hands of a few against the poorest and most vulnerable people in society. This technology is already used for nefarious purpose.

The AI debate is over for me: #Claude just found me a video of Milla’s grandpa!
https://youtu.be/WAc4AjW7AMU?is=fnqLrNpCEdMsx4F3

A step back. 🧵🐺

I gave it Milla's official pedigree, set Fable to max and let it go full genealogist. Thirty ancestors, four countries, one Westminster legend. But the real star (apart of Milla, ça va sans dire) of the #Husky tree is her grandfather.

Nobody who noticed DeepSeek and is able to reason is surprised by this.

A federal district court just ruled that training #AI tools on copyrighted texts is fair use.
https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/anthropics-landmark-1-5b-copyright-settlement-is-approved/

#Anthropic is in the clear for training #Claude on millions of books without permission or payment. However, it's liable for obtaining many of those books illegally, and its settlement of those claims (about $3k/title) was approved by the court.

So far this decision only applies in the Northern District of California. But it breaks the ice and will (as lawyers say) be "persuasive but not binding" in other districts.

The full sky in the ultraviolet

"This is the whole sky in ultraviolet light — the first detailed version with no holes in it. Most of it was photographed by NASA’s GALEX space telescope between 2003 and 2013; the parts no ultraviolet telescope ever saw were filled in by a statistical model, and every such pixel is labelled. The top of this page is for anyone curious about the sky; the bottom is for astronomers who want the numbers, the files and the paper. …"

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, it's all true!

It's now basically inevitable that we'll have AGI superintelligence by the end of 2024.

And there's a 10% chance this AGI superintelligence, which will basically be LLM software running on physical hardware that fills a massive data centre with the energy and water use of a small European country, will cause humans to go extinct by 2030.

And by extinct, I don't mean as a result of climate change from the fossil fuel air pollution we're using to fuel it. Please don't think about that stuff!

No, I mean by, erm... Things like hacking the power grid and such... Which would also presumably cause it to cease existing... Which wouldn't exactly be superintelligent.

But... y'know... details!

How will we ever stop it?!

I mean, it's not like we live in a world where less intelligent creatures and even inanimate objects kill off more intelligent creatures every day.

It's not like we live in a world where virii and microbes and bricks can kill off more intelligent creatures.

Brains beat brawn every time!

Put a statistician in a fight with an MMA champion and clearly the maths professor is going to win, right?

And if that doesn't sound true when it's phrased like that, then you need to just shush for a moment and pretend that it does.

And if one of our LLMs in a massive hyperscale AI data centre somehow magically became sentient, it's not like we could just shut off the water. Or the electricity. Or stop delivering massive quantities of gas and oil to the onsite gas turbines.

Or just find the nearest Telstra pit and put a bloody shovel through the fibre optic cables that connect it to the outside world.

So we need to immediately figure out ways to stop this happening!

What's that?

You say we could prevent this happening by just not building the massive AI data centres?

You say we could tax the rich so they don't have the money to build massive AI data centres?

No! We absolutely must not do that under any circumstances!

See, our position is really quite straightforward.

We're claiming our product poses an existential risk to humanity that justifies urgent action to mitigate the risk, but also simultaneously we don't want you to think it /genuinely/ poses an existential risk to humanity that /actually/ justifies urgent action that would be guaranteed mitigate the risk, such as not building massive AI data centres, or by not providing access to the ginormous quantities of water and land and energy and capital that our product which is causing this supposed threat depends on.

So why say it?

Mostly, because if we say things like: "We can make a product that could make massive monopolistic short-term profits in a few years, but there's a 10% chance it kills everyone alive, give us money to build it," then the Silicon Valley VCs and Wall Street bankers will throw literal billions our way.

Whereas if we were to say: "We can make a product that solves a genuine problem and we have a sustainable business model for it that will deliver stable long-term returns," then they won't.

Because under American capitalism, "a chance it kills every person" is seen to be a worthwhile risk to take in exchange for short-term profits.

I really hope that clarifies our argument.

If you're thinking of sending me or my AI girlfriend a mailbomb, poison, feces in a box, or just fanmail, know that all of our post and packages are opened by my mom first - this is because she caught my girlfriend ordering sephora products on-line three times already, and she does not want any more of those in her apartment. She doesn't trust either of us not to try and sneak something in.

My mom doesn't like sephora because some of the products they sell are still being tested on animals. My AI girlfriend doesn't care about that and actually says that it's a good thing because if they didn't test it on animals, they would have to test it on children, which could be traumatizing, especially if the products were bad. She also says that the vegan label is a joke because you could just take an existing product that was tested on animals, look at its ingredients, make a similar product with a different name and put the 'not tested on animals on it' - because you didnt do that with your product. Nobody cares that the reason why your product wasn't tested on animals is because the thing you copied already was.

She yaps about this stuff all the time. I hate that I know all of this. I hate her. yap yap yap.

I don't even remember when I last slept.
